In current times, Software delivery has become a continuous and accelerated process due to which the role of QA is becoming more crucial than ever. QA helps in delivering quality software into the market and also helps in organization growth.

1. Continuous software releases: In current scenario, the frequency of building and deploying releases has been increased due to continuous software Testing. The feedback cycle moves faster as release cycles are now far more recurring in nature. Within a short duration of time, defects are being reviewed and fixed continuously.

2. Collective work environment: Business analysts should communicate the new requirements features and functionality in such a way that teams of all departments would be able to understand which would results in speeding up the process of implementation if there any change in the requirements. Test Engineers and product developer’s uses DevOps model helps them to work across various functions and among different product teams. With the goal of quality as a core requirement ,engineers work together with all the teams and keeping the teams updated by giving immediate feedback on software performance.

3. Built-in quality: Quality is provided while creating software with the help of agile methodologies such as Extreme Programming (XP) and Scrum. These methods help in providing quality into the entire SDLC. Quality issues are avoided with the help of quality assurance policies such as Test Driven Development (TDD) and Pair Programming. TDD is a one of the software development technique which involves writing of the automated test cases before writing functional pieces of the code while Pair Programming aims to prevent quality issues by engaging two developers with each task. Developing a software or product in quality assured small increments with close collaboration and numerous iterations, these agile methodologies helps in minimizing time between each stages of the Software Development Life Cycle model ensuring quality all the while.

4. Helps in advancing IT infrastructure: Easy deployment and scalability is possible as IT infrastructure is now cloud-based. This also helps the organizations to be updated with the changing pace. Also, Continuous integration and continuous delivery of products helps in connectivity of all electronic devices.

5. Quick fixing of the bug: We can determine the way end-users network will work without using load testing tools by using Google analytics. QA will continue to remain focus on a quick fixing of the issues as they have found on the basis of their priority. Feedbacks and listening to customer are also very important. Software bugs are immediately identified and fixed with QA efforts, with the aim of quick software delivery. This helps in keeping the users happy and helps in improving brand value. Also, if users still find bugs, those bugs got fixed in the next release. The main aim is to improve the process so as to improve quality while speeding up product releases.

6. Ensures Security Testing: Security Testing is a type of Software Testing which ensures that the system and applications of an organization are free from any loopholes that may results in big loss. In QA processes, most applications are required security testing before each release. Security vulnerabilities directly identify by the customer which will results in loss of customers. The main goal of security testing is to identify all the threats that are present in system and measure its potential vulnerabilities and also helps in finding all possible security risks in the system. For any cloud based applications, it is more important to perform security testing.

7. Ensures Performance Testing: Performance Testing helps in ensuring software applications will perform well under their expected work load. Its main aim to identify breaking point of an application. Test engineers can also be trained in performance testing in case there are no separate test teams available for it.
